70/100Harry HungryScoreHarry's headline verdict, 0–100. How good the place actually is, once the loud reviews and the timid critics have cancelled each other out.

Solid Pick. Harry scores Blake's Tavern 70/100 for quality and 70/100 on the Worth It scale for New York. One caveat: Yelp's way lower than Google, so either the crowd's split or expectations matter here; go in wanting a tavern burger, not a destination meal.
